“Rejoice With Me”
Don’t cry for me, hush up right now,
I’ve journeyed home to get my crown.
I’ve fought so long and now I’ve won,
My life’s nowhere near over.
So don’t cry for me, dry your eyes, my dear,
Oh, did I mention, it’s nice up here?
I fly with angels, and sleep on clouds,
And I walk streets of gold.
So, don’t you cry for me.
I’ll just be waiting,
For you to get here! ~ Your Brother,
Wesley

You are my Shepherd, I will not be afraid;
You make me to dwell in peace, you are my light,
And the Lord of my journey,
Your rod and your staff comfort me,
So I’ll sing in the valley, shout from the mountain,
Drink from the river,
Dance near the fountain everlasting life,
And your eternal love.
